The
dead rise and begin burglarizing their own families and friends. Among
those that rise is Johnny, Tasha's brother. Howard Welling a.k.a.
"The Gravemaster" controls them. He is an insane gravedigger
at a local cemetery. The team must find and stop him. He ends up killing
himself, or so they think.

The
media now has footage of the zombies, who many believe to be people in
costume. One reporter, Tony Manners, is bent on exposing
the existence of the tainted, and Leah encounters him while covering the
story.

Traumatized
by facing her dead brother, Tasha falls off the wagon, and gets drunk.
She ends up sleeping with Fabien, who is more than happy to oblige.
